→ Our Athletics Hall of Fame honors former student-athletes, teams, varsity coaches, and athletics staff members whose accomplishments have been of the highest caliber and have contributed significantly to our proud athletics tradition. In addition to their athletics achievements, nominees must have also demonstrated sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal integrity both during their time at Pingry and throughout their lives. Selection will be based primarily on Pingry athletics accomplishments, but subsequent achievements in sports and in other areas will also be considered. 

NOTE: In order to be eligible for Athletics Hall of Fame induction, former student-athletes must have graduated at least 10 years ago and varsity coaches or athletics staff must already be retired.

→ Each year, the Pingry Alumni Association has the honor and privilege of recognizing an accomplished graduate by presenting him or her with the Letter-In-Life Award. This award is given to an individual who, through gaining distinction and achievement in his or her professional life, has brought honor to Pingry. The award is presented annually at Commencement in front of our newest members of the Pingry Alumni Association.

The principal criteria for the Letter-In-Life Award are (i) an alumnus or alumna who has or has had a distinguished career in professional and/or civic life which has brought honor to Pingry, and (ii) the relationship which the recipient has maintained with Pingry.
